Primary Exempt PurposeWe provide food for homeless people who live in their vehicles with their children and pets. We also provide pet food to low income people and cat food for feral cats. We find homes for pets when their homeless owners can no longer care for them. We conduct numerous spay/neuter programs in various areas in Southern California. We assist homeless families to recover through new-job training and moving into their own apartments.PrimaryExemptPurposeTxt

Basic Needs Foundation Accomplishments for 2018:Basic Needs Foundation provides food for very low income working homeless individuals who live in their vehicles with their children and pets. The average income for these families is $475 per month and most of these homeless individuals can only find part-time jobs in low-paying retail positions.Many animals are abandoned or surrendered to city/county shelters because their low-income owners cannot afford to feed their pets. These pet owners have lost their jobs and their homes go into foreclosure. Many are evicted with no other options. Our Foundation alleviates the financial and physical burden on city/county animal shelters and on taxpayers by providing pet food to enable low income individuals to keep their pets.Restricted grants from animal welfare foundations allowed us to offer free spaying, neutering and Trap/Neuter/Release (TNR) of feral cats to low income, homeless pet owners and feral cat feeders in several rural communities. We spayed, neutered and trap/neuter/released 325 dogs, and domestic and feral cats this year. We found forever homes for 82 dogs, puppies and cats successfully. These pets were surrendered to Basic Needs Foundation as their homeless owners could not keep them any longer.Community support and multiple grants from foundations provide the first step in positive change for the life of working homeless families and their pets.We raised funds and secured a mobile trailer for a disabled senior woman, who lives with her son, an elderly dog, and a cat, after her mobile home was a total loss on 11/8/18 in the Paradise Northern CA Fire. Her only income is $900 from SSI and she had no insurance on her mobile home. Fund raising link https://www.crowdrise.com/o/en/campaign/trailer-for-a-camp-fire-victim-judy-robbinsHome health aide jobs have become very popular due to the huge number of baby boomers who have reached the age where in-home care is needed. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services currently put total health expenditures in 2018 at about $3.67 trillion.A startling 75 percent of Americans over 65 live with multiple chronic health conditions, ranging from diabetes to dementia.The nation's strained health-care system is trying to keep sick seniors out of hospitals, assisted-living facilities and nursing homes and instead have them cared for in their homes.The U.S. spent an estimated $103 billion on home health care last year, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.Overall employment of in-home aides is projected to grow 41 percent from 2016 to 2026 translating to 7.8 million job openings.The homeless individuals we help are working on Home Health Aide Training and expect to receive their certificates in the near future. With this knowledge, these individuals will be able to secure full-time jobs that pay up to $15/per hour. This is the next critical step to being able to afford a real home.Several local businesses and generous individuals sponsor essential items for homeless families such as, TracFone, health club memberships, safe places to park vehicles at night and discounted veterinary care. During the year a total of 8 adults and 11 children, including their pets, have moved into their own apartments, studios, and mobile homes. Because they are no longer living in their cars, they can take showers at their apartments rather than in a local gym, they can make and eat their meals in their own kitchens rather than in their cars, and they can live a life where they are contributing positively to the community.We are very grateful for your kind support of our organization and ask that you donate to our causes at https://www.basicneedsfoundation.org.$34,449
